Homa shot a brilliant 5-under 66 in Round 3 and made his way to third place at Innisbrook Resort on Saturday. It was a tremendous performance under pressure, and Max Homa credited the fans for cheering him. 

“Oh, man. I heard a lot — I don’t know, it’s really hard to get over just the outpour of support, it’s wild. I guess even as a kid I don’t think I could have imagined that. So just everybody yelling, saying, Good job, keep it going, I’m rooting for you, just, it might sound boring, but that just means a lot to me,” Homa expressed. 

The Copperhead Course has several challenging holes, but Homa’s confidence propelled him to post a good score. He also picked the hole which gave him the most delight due to fan support. 

“It was loud. 6 was cool but 18 was loud. That was fun,” Homa said.

Homa played with a simple game plan in Round 3

The Copperhead Course is not an easy layout to master. While confidence can help a player achieve results, a notch above will lead to disaster. Max Homa knew he had to display a good performance to gain places on the leaderboard, but he didn’t let his thoughts get too ahead. 

“Yeah, didn’t really look too much, so I just knew if I posted 4-under-ish I would at least have a chance tomorrow, but that’s all you can do out here. Moment you try to shoot 8, you’re in trouble. So, yeah, feel good to have a chance,” Homa mentioned. 

Max Homa made five birdies in Round 3 and managed 10 pars. But the highlight of his round came when the California native made an eagle on the par-4 sixth hole. Can Homa make a final round surge and clinch the 2021 Valspar Championship?
